Maroon Medicine
E. Snod(E. A. Dodd)

The four fictional stories: “Maroon Medicine,” “Paccy Rum,” “The Red Cock,” and “The Courting of the Dudes,” are sketches from rural Jamaican life in the early 1900s. They are humorous and give insights into people’s lives during that period.

The Spanish Needle
by Claude McKay
Lovely dainty Spanish needle
With your yellow flower and white,
Dew bedecked and softly sleeping,
Do you think of me tonight?
Flame-heart
by Claude McKay
So much have I forgotten in ten years,
So much in ten brief years! I have forgot
What time the purple apples come to juice,
And what month brings the shy forget-me-not.
